DLCOUNT.EXE v1.3 - A Max 2.00 download counter
Copyright (c) 1991 Robert Presland, all rights reserved.
Archive
-------
You should have received DLCOUNT in an ARJ archive, with only the following
two (2) files contained within:
DLCOUNT.DOC This text file
DLCOUNT.EXE The exectuable.
If one of these files is missing, or there are extra files, or the archive
fails a CRC check, please file request it from 1:163/268.
Description
-----------
DLCOUNT will process your Max log file and add a counter to the beginning
of the description for each file downloaded. A four digit counter is used
to enable up to 9999 downloads per file.
Switches
--------
/I<areas.ctl>
DLCOUNT will read the <areas.ctl> file and look for DOWNLOAD
directories. DLCOUNT will attempt to process a file called
FILES.BBS in this directory and for each file (line with something
other than a space or a hyphen in the first position) insert a
zero counter if there is not already one of the specified type
(see /C switch). Default is not to process the <areas.ctl> file.
/L<log file>
If specified, DLCOUNT will create <log file> and insert a log
line for each file downloaded. Default is not to create a download
file. Each log line will be in the form:
<username> <filename> <protocol> <date> <time>
Example:
Joe_SysOp FILENAME.EXT Z 01-Nov 12:34:56
/C<number>
If specified, DLCOUNT will use a counter delimiter according to
the following:
<number> Delimiters
-----------------------
1 [ ]
2 { }
3 ( )
4 < >
Default is to use /C1.
How does it work?
-----------------
How DLCOUNT works is beyond this document, but where it puts the counter
is of interest. DLCOUNT will insert the counter in the first occurance
of a character within the set {A..Z,a..z,0..9} that is preceeded by a space.
This allows DLCOUNT to skip switches like /b in a description since the
switch's first character is not a letter or a number.
